Coming out of a fictionalized "based on a true story" mainstream movie, one also hungers for the sharp taste of reality. Even in those little snapshots we could see more humanity and depth than the movie allowed.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592985394059172101.post-87738668304001543292010-03-18T11:34:40.270-04:002010-03-18T11:34:40.270-04:00Phenomenal review here - one of the best I've ...Phenomenal review here - one of the best I've read. My issue with this film (aside from what I felt were average or below average production values, and of course a complete missed opportunity about race relations in America) was that I thought it just would have worked much better as a documentary. One in which, for example, we might have truly seen the emotional depth of the characters that you discuss here. It should say something that the only piece of this movie I appreciated was the montage of photos of the real-life family during the end credits - it was the first time real people had been on screen the entire film!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.com
